Explanation:

Artificial Sub-surface Irrigation:

  • When a system of open jointed drains is artificially laid below the soil to supply water to the crops by capillary, it is known as artificial sub-surface irrigation.
  • It is a very costly process.
  • It requires good-quality irrigation water since water of lousy quality may block the buried perforated pipes.  

Additional InformationThe other type of sub-surface irrigation is:

Natural Sub-surface Irrigation:

  • Leakage of water from channels, etc., goes underground, and during passage through the sub-soil, it may irrigate crops sown on lower lands by capillarity.
  • it is achieved simply by natural process without any extra effort.
